Shows also how removed the deaf are from the world. How anyone could not hear about the terrorists in Paris, no-one but a deaf man. With him being deaf the cabbage worked really well as his sense of smell would have been heightened. Good piece.

A nice nod to the recent tragedy. Your style is so captivating I feel like I don’t even care if I reach the climax of the story. I just want to immerse myself into your fictional world. Another story well told.

It makes perfect sense, not everyone is glued to the news or stares at mobiles all the time. When you go to bed early and then wake up to such news… the every-day setting makes it even more frightening. Great writing.
